North East Wolverhampton Academy is an average-sized secondary school. The academy is sponsored by the University of Wolverhampton, City of Wolverhampton College and Wolverhampton City Council. The academy moved into new premises in September 2014. Until then, teaching had taken place across two sites. The majority of students are White British. The proportion of students from minority ethnic groups is above average. These students come from a wide range of different ethnic groups. The proportion of students who speak English as an additional language is above average. The proportion of disadvantaged students who are eligible for support through the pupil premium is twice the national average. The pupil premium is additional government funding to support those students who are known to be eligible for free school meals and children looked after by the local authority. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs is above average. There are 17 students who follow part-time courses at the Orchard Centre, Midpoint, Braybrook and Nova Training Vocational Hub. The academy receives support from Heartlands High School and Education Central. The academy did not meet the government’s current floor standards in 2014, which set the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress.
